Episode #181: The Place Where You Feel PAIN Isn't Where The problem Is! - Featuring Sue Hitzmann

Most people assume that when something hurts, that's where the problem is. Knee pain means something is wrong with your knee. Back pain means something is wrong with your back. But what if the actual cause is somewhere completely different?

In this episode, I'm joined by Sue Hitzmann, exercise physiologist, manual therapist, and creator of the MELT Method, to explore the often-overlooked role of fascia in chronic pain, injury recovery, and healthy aging.

In this episode, we talk about:

■ Why chronic pain can persist without an obvious injury

■ What fascia is and why it matters

■ Why traditional pain treatments don't always work

■ How pain in one area can originate somewhere else

■ The surprising connection between stress and physical pain

■ Whether popular recovery therapies actually work

■ Simple daily habits that may improve recovery and mobility

 

If you've been dealing with recurring pain, unexplained stiffness, or injuries that never seem to fully heal, this conversation will give you a different perspective on what might be happening inside your body.
